Peak of summer has descended upon North and Central India. But, you need not fret much as the month of May is likely to register more rainy days in these parts as compared to last few years.
Meanwhile, let’s find out the present weather conditions across the country.
A Western Disturbance over Jammu and Kashmir will continue to bring rain over the state and some parts of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
The cyclonic circulation has shifted to west Uttar Pradesh. This system is still bringing humid easterly winds over the area. These winds are keeping the temperatures under check in the plains. The system will move further eastwards and merge with the circulation over Bihar.
